Here’s what you’ll need:
RECIPE
- 1 and 1/4 cup flour
- 1 and 1/3 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
*Recipe makes between 6-10 crepes depending on the size of your crepes*
DIRECTIONS
1) Blend together all ingredients on high for 45 seconds to one minute until you get a creamy, well-blended batter with little no clumps.
*CrepePro Tip* – The order that you add the ingredients into the blender can have a big impact on the crepe batter’s consistency after blending. Here’s how we do it:
– Milk
-Eggs
-Vanilla
-Salt
At this point, we will start to blend it together before adding the melted butter and flour.
If your blender will allow it, (we don’t any additional messes in your kitchen!) then you can put the blender at a low speed, slowly pull off the lid, and start to add in the flour, while the blender is running.
This can help avoid the deadly flour clumps as the flour is being immediately blended in instead of sitting and combining!
You can then add in the melted butter. It is better to let it cool slightly as adding the freshly melted butter right out of the microwave or stovetop can potentially cook your eggs and give you an unwanted texture!
2) Once blended, check for excess flour on the sides of the blender, scrape down and blend once more until all ingredients seem incorporated.
3) Store batter in the fridge and let cool for at least 20 minutes before cooking. *when in a pinch, this step can be skipped, but is recommended to give the desired batter consistency!
4) Heat up the CrepePro to medium/low heat and let it heat up for 3-5 minutes before cooking. This ensures evenly cooked crepes.
5) Have your T-handle and spatula (included in CrepePro kit) ready, as well as a wet paper towel to wipe off excess batter from the batter spreader after each crepe.
6) Spray pan once at the start of cooking. Spin crepes! Pour about 1/4 – 1/3 c of batter into the middle of the crepe pan. Spin crepe with T-handle/batter spreader. Let crepes cook for 30 seconds-1 minute, or until bubbles can be seen all around the edges of the crepe and some in middle. Use a spatula to flip the crepe, cook for about 30 seconds more on another side.
